 Indications for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING

Since 1983, the hyperbaric chamber at Jacobi Medical Center has treated thousands of victims of carbon monoxide poisoning and smoke inhalation from fires, malfunctioning home heating systems and automobile exhaust systems.

Because hyperbaric oxygen therapy is the fastest method of reversing potentially life-threatening effects of CO poisoning, we agree with the NYC Poison Control Center that patients with severe CO poisoning should receive HBO.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Treatment for Carbon Monoxide Poisoning and Smoke Inhalation

Hyperbaric therapy rapidly removes carbon monoxide from the blood and body tissues. It saves lives and also prevents delayed neurological sequelae in survivors. In New York City the Jacobi Hyperbaric Medicine Program works together with the New York City Fire Department (F.D.N.Y.), the New York City Emergency Medical Service and the New York City Poison Control Center to provide emergency treatment of carbon monoxide poisoning 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
